Magic steps up, says Kobe is better than Pierce
Remember Pierce proclaiming himself the best player in the league? Well recently, Magic had a few things to say about that…
Boston.com: “Paul would like to think he’s better than Kobe,” said Johnson with a hearty laugh. “But Kobe Bryant is the best closer in the game. He’s the best player in the game. You have to remember he’s done it for a long time at a high level. Now, was Paul Pierce better than Kobe in the Finals? Of course, he was better than everybody in the whole playoffs. Is he one of the top three or four players in the league right now, Paul Pierce? Of course he is. It’s hard to find a guy who can go inside and outside and also a guy who can put it on the floor then make plays for other people. Yes, I think he’s right up there with Kobe, right up there with LeBron. It’s hard to pick one of those three guys.
“I’m not biased. I’m going to tell it like it is,” added the Lakers legend. “Kobe Bryant has won three championships for a reason. Shaq [O'Neal] got us to the fourth quarter, but always Kobe Bryant closed the deal. We have to remember that. There’s nothing biased. If Paul was the best player in the league, I would say it. But he’s right there as one of the best. No question about it.”

WTF wheel chair boy is no way close to KOBE. I wouldn’t even put him in the top ten best players in this league. Not because I don’t like the guy I mean come on now he no way a top ten player. In my opinion who ever is 2nd best in the league is 15th best because we have 14 guys on our roster and no one goes over anyone on our team.
hahaha..Wheelchair Boy!!!
Posey ain’t around anymore, so I think Pierce will have more time guarding Kobe when they meet….so the Celtics training staff better have a wheel chair prepared on the side line so he’s ready to go when Kobe breaks his ankles.
lmfao wheelchair boy
uh, it was james posey who sealed the deal for boston in the nba finals. pierce ain’t nuthin’.
not even close
paul plays in slow mo
people out run out jump him, thats why he gets open all the time
best player in the game?
LOL
not even close
Haha wheelchair boy! In all honesty Pierce is probably towards the end of the top 10 right now, but not even the best player on his team so I don’t see how he can be deluded enough to think he’s the #1.
LeBron, CP, Deron, KG, Dwight, Tim Duncan, D-Wade and of course KB24 are all clearly better than “Wheelchair boy”, and when Magic says it, take it to the bank, because Magic is better than anyone whoever put on a Celtics jersey and if he didn’t have to retire early he’d be the greatest of all time.
Paul Pierce was a “Reserve” in last year’s all star game. Ca mon now.
Exactly, I don’t even understand why there would be a debate.
Pierce is a good player, but the best? That’s got to be a joke!
You know what would be funny? If we bombarded the Celtics blog and let them face reality!
My List BEST CLOSERS in the game today starting from #1 among active players.
Kobe
D. Wade
Lebron
CP3
Tim Duncan
Paul Pierce
I’d even put Sam Cassel before Paul Pierce but he’s no where near his prime anymore.
thanks for that magic…if it weren’t for you making the statement, i’d really believe that “the truth”…ERRR “the faker” was better than kobe. IDIOT!!! don’t get me wrong fellas, magic was the man on the court and i loved what he did for us the fans and the lakers, but every time he opens his mouth, he sounds more and more stupid!
f uck paul pierce
Now let’s see wheelchair respond to Magic…arguably the best Lakers player in history of the game played, from…not-even-there-yet-wheelchair-of-boston.
WheelChair Boy will probably take a cheap shot at Magic..or maybe even Larry Bird will join in and say somethin’ about Kobe
I can’t stop Laughing at…

Glad Magic is stepping up and saying this about Kobe. What I like about Kobe is that he doesn’t talk about himself being the greatest, he lets his game do the talking…
PaulPierce?you got to be kidding me.He’s like 14th best.
Magic has SPOKEN, so Paul stop the self-proclaim “Am the BEST play in the NBA”
Grow some facial hair and not some “pubes” before go on national TV, dude.
Man! colorado rapist got no chance against pierce… mwahahaha…

Paul Pierce is garbage! i dont think anyone should even validate his claim to being the best player with a response!As Amare said it once inside the Sun’s locker room “who in the league is better than kobe nobody”
i’ll just add that if you’ve been in the L for as many years as the big faker has…you should have a more sculpted body than that. i can’t believe that he’s so damn pudgy!!! this guy ain’t no professional! him and duncan got the ugliest bodies in the NBA for being “athletes”!!!
